Hongdi

He Borui looked at Yu Xun in a daze for a long while, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his heart, and he said to himself: "Could it be that Your Highness is doubting me and my brother?"

Seeing that she didn't answer, Yu Xun asked again, "Rui'er, tell me the truth, did you and your brother go out last night?"

He Borui looked at him with some grievances and said, "I didn't go anywhere. Why does Your Highness ask such a question?"

Yu Xun smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just called you and your brother last night, but no one answered."

He Borui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Highness, don't blame me, my brother had a stomachache last night. I, um..., maybe fell asleep." She lowered her head slightly, and asked in a low voice bravely: "Did your Highness suspect us? Right?" Yu Xun smiled and didn't say anything, but she said again: "Even if we hate the Wei family and his son to the bone, how can we kill them with our abilities?"

Yu Xun smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing. I'll just ask casually. It's fine if you don't go out. There's been chaos outside recently, so don't walk around."

He Borui nodded, and suddenly, she blinked her curious eyes and smiled: "How about your Highness going to investigate the case today? Can you tell Ruier about it?" Yu Xun was taken aback for a moment, then laughed too.

Looking at the joyful expression on He Borui's face, Yu Xun felt an unspeakable depression in his heart. The death of Wei's father and son would cause an uproar if it was light, but would shake the foundation of the country if it was serious.When he saw the horrific black and white of the Wei Mansion, and heard the heaven-shattering cries of the Wei Mansion, he knew that Hongguo had lost a marshal and a strong general.Although he understands that the He Bo brothers and sisters hate the Wei family and his son to the bone, thinking that they were not there at the same time last night, it is possible that Cook Xiao ordered them to kill the Wei family and their son to blame Yueguo.But he really doesn't want to think about that. In his heart, Cook Xiao is not a person who makes fun of national interests. After all, Wei's father and son are the heads of Hongguo's military officers. The tragic death of the two will definitely cause huge waves again. .The development of the matter seems to have deviated from the correct track, Yu Xun looked helplessly at the red sun hanging down the window, the setting sun was like blood...

After nightfall, Yu Xun quietly sneaked out of the Chu Palace through the secret road, intending to go to Hongbao Pavilion and discuss with Jiang Shuihan to go to the Wei Mansion to inquire.I thought they might not be in the small courtyard where they often gather, so I had to find them one by one, but I didn’t think so, I opened the door and saw Jiang Shuihan, Jiang Tianyi, and Xie Ximing, the three of them were chatting while eating melon seeds and drinking tea Get hot.

"Yo, Your Highness is coming? We are waiting for you." Jiang Tian hurriedly got up to give up his seat when he saw Yu Xun coming in. The other two also put down their snacks and stood up to salute.

Yu Xun looked at the crowd coldly, and said without anger, "Did the Wei family and his son be killed by our people?"

All three were taken aback, Jiang Tianyi shook his head first, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, it wasn't my people who did it."

Jiang Shuihan also shook his head, "Your Highness, I only take care of business and never get involved in these matters."

Xie Ximing spread his hands and shook his head...

Yu Xun sighed lightly as if relieved, "Fortunately not. Sit down."

Everyone looked at each other and stood still.

Yu Xun patted his cheeks with both hands, changed into a usual relaxed and soft expression, pointed at the table with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Don't be so restrained, and there are no outsiders, sit down."

Jiang Tianyi stopped talking, and sat down opposite Yu Xun, "Your Highness, did you find anything when you went to the Wei Mansion today? Why do you ask if our people did it?"

"It's nothing, just ask casually." Yu Xun looked at the three people seated and told what he knew.

Sighing helplessly, he said again: "The two countries have lived in peace for so many years, and suddenly this disaster happened. I suspect that someone has ulterior motives to blame Yue Guo. By the way, little crab, you are the smartest, tell me, this Did the Yue people do this thing?"

Xie Ximing pinched a melon seed, and solemnly uttered words to relieve the dullness in the room, "First of all, Your Highness, please don't call me a crab, it makes me hungry again."

Yu Xun smiled, raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Tianyi, "Little Tian, ​​Manfulou should not be closed yet, go get some food for your crabs. Hurry up!"

"Ah? Oh." As soon as Jiang Tian realized it, he immediately ran out.Xie Ximing grabbed him, and gave Yu Xun a shy smile, "I'll just say casually, Your Highness, Manfulou is too far away, we'll go tomorrow. Let's get down to business now."

Yu Xun sipped his tea, looked at him leisurely, and waited for his analysis.

"As His Highness said, there are three pieces of evidence that indicate that people from the Moon Kingdom may have committed the crime. But to be precise, there is only one piece, which is Manduo Rosemary. As for the rope buckle and Sun Wan'er's life experience, they may all be forged. And There is no need for Yue Guo to do this."

Jiang Tian blinked his big eyes, stared blankly at Xie Ximing with a calm face, and said, "I'm really not hungry anymore? How about I go to the kitchen and get you something to eat?"

Xie Ximing patted Jiang Tianyi's head lightly, and said seriously, "Let's get down to business."

"Oh, then, why isn't it necessary? Those two are two generals of our Hong Kingdom. Wouldn't it be a great disadvantage if we went to war?"

Yu Xun smiled and nodded, "It's really not necessary."

"Ah? Why did His Highness say that?"

Jiang Shuihan raised his hand and patted Jiang Tianyi's head, and said coldly, "Don't interrupt."

Jiang Tianyi made a face at him, and moved the stool beside Xie Ximing.

Yu Xun looked at Jiang Tianyi and said with a smile: "Xiao Tian, ​​let me ask you. Do you want an opponent who has no secrets, or an enemy who can't be guessed?"

"Huh? Of course there are no secrets. Know yourself and your enemy and you can win a hundred battles."

Yu Xun nodded with a smile, Jiang Tian was still confused when he looked at him.

Yu Xun said again: "Since the Yue Kingdom has already infiltrated the Wei Mansion, why not turn Wei's father and son into pawns for your own use?"

Jiang Shuihan asked hesitantly, "But if you didn't become a pawn, it would be possible to kill someone in a fit of anger, right?"

Xie Ximing shook his head and said: "Nine out of ten times out of ten, His Highness is right. It's a blame game. The Wei family is no longer the loyal family of the late emperor. Look at that Wei Kaiding who was always drinking and drinking, and that one who married in one breath. Wei Lianfeng, who has seven wives, the Wei family, hehe, is broken."

"Well, it's not difficult to corrupt the Wei family." Yu Xun looked at the light yellow tea in the cup with some melancholy, and thought, "It's not just the Wei family that has been corrupted?..."

Xie Ximing nodded, and said: "If I were a spy of the Yue Kingdom, I would wait for the opportunity to corrupt the Wei family, gain the necessary military intelligence, and then let the Yue army take advantage of our unpreparedness to win by surprise. Instead of making such a big fuss like now Movement. This obviously leaves people with the opportunity to start a war."

"That's it." Jiang Tianyi put his four fingers together, and "Kaba" squeezed away more than a dozen melon seeds, and then picked the melon seeds on the table, and said to Yu Xun, "Have you ever thought that someone from Caohetang did it?" of?"

"Not them."

Jiang Tian piled the melon seeds in front of Yu Xun, nodded and said, "I also don't think they need to do this. But people's hearts are separated from each other, so what secrets do they have?"

"Xun Shuiyin came to me last night and said that he would leave for Yue Kingdom soon. Sammart Wei told them that He Shuang was sent to Yue Kingdom." Yu Xun didn't tell the three of them, Xun Shuiyin and the others decided to leave today. Not for anything else, just not wanting to cause unnecessary suspicion for them.

Xie Ximing heard about the Caohe Hall from Jiang Tianyi, and when he saw Yu Xun say this, he was a little worried and said, "Your Highness, maybe I am overthinking. But if one out of ten is done by Yue people, the crime was done quickly. It's okay to go back to the lair. Besides, I heard from Xiaotian that the people in Caohetang are good at using poison, and their martial arts are not weak. Yesterday you helped them deal with that master named Chi Pengyan. Thinking about it this way, their The suspicion is the biggest. If this is the case, then we may not have guessed their purpose, and the matter will never end so simply, and I am afraid that more people will be murdered."

Yu Xun closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief, thinking: "Maybe I'm just too emotional, thinking things are too simple..."

"Your Highness, Xiaotian is not blaming you, it's just that why did you suspect us first and not them?"

"I..." Yu Xun was at a loss for a moment, he didn't know why, at first he suspected that it was the He Bo brothers and sisters, and later he suspected it was Jiang Tianyi, but he never wanted to think that this matter might be done by Bei Yaofei and the others.But why?Why would I rather suspect that my brother ordered the killing than want them to be involved?

Yu Xun shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I just don't think it's them. This obvious provocative behavior should be an act of framing. And they just want to find someone, there is no need to do so. Besides, they didn't know my brother before they met my brother." I don't know that Wei's father and son have something to do with He Shuang, this does not seem to be a lie. And there is..."

After hesitating for a while, Yu Xun lowered his head and hid the bitterness in his eyes, "As agreed at the beginning, you can listen to my brother's orders without harming your personal interests. If my brother doesn't want me to know about some things, I'm afraid I won't get any news."

Yu Xun's voice gradually became weaker, and finally it seemed to be whispering to himself, but when Jiang Tian heard it clearly, he could only feel his blood surging, and he was very upset, "Your Highness!"

Huo Di stood up, and stared directly at Yu Xun with his eyes wide open, "I, Jiang Tianyi, no, I, Xiao Tianqi, only obey His Highness' orders. As for King Yi, I only do things for His Highness's sake! His Highness thinks Know what, Xiaotian will check it for you, he King Yi wants to seal the news of His Highness, and we have to see if our Yushalou people will do it!"

Yu Xun looked at Jiang Tianyi in a daze, then laughed out loud, and his watery eyes narrowed into a crescent shape.

"Your Highness, I'm not joking." Jiang Tianyi pouted childishly, looking at the only master in his heart with some complaints.

"I know." Yu Xun stretched out his hand and pushed Jiang Tianyi back on the chair, and said with a smile, "I'm just talking casually, don't take it seriously."

Xie Ximing also hurriedly gave Jiang Tian a break, "Xiaotian, Your Highness has no other intentions. There are some things that His Highness can't help himself, so please don't say a few words."

Jiang Tian pursed his lips and said nothing.

Xie Ximing said to Yu Xun, "Your Highness suspects King Yi Qiantui?"

Yu Xun frowned ugly and remained silent.

"Killing Wei's father and son can not only attack King Jin's party, but also create turmoil and prepare for the opportunity to seize military power. Killing two birds with one stone is indeed possible..."

"Don't talk about it. My brother will not disregard the righteousness of the country. No matter how corrupt the Wei family is, they are still my pillars. My brother will not."

Xie Ximing saw that Yu Xun's eyebrows were furrowed deeply, so he stopped talking and asked instead: "Your Highness, above the main hall today, what is the matter with the Dragon Cave that the Emperor mentioned? If the case cannot be solved in five days, what will happen to Your Highness... ..."

Yu Xun's face turned pale when he heard the words '洑龙洞'. After a while, he smiled unnaturally, shook his head and said, "It's okay, even if the case can't be solved in five days, my brother will intercede with me." .It's fine."

"Why, there's still a deadline? Why didn't Xi Ming say that? Five days, isn't it too short?" Jiang Shuihan couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw Yu Xun's face change.

"Your Highness, what is the 'Fulong Cave'?" Jiang Tianyi asked ignorantly.

Yu Xun's face was not good, "It's the place in the palace where I thought about it. It's nothing. Isn't there still four days, it doesn't matter. Besides, the father just wants an explanation, not for me to catch the murderer. Just tell the matter Clear, let my brother say a few words for me, it should be fine."

Seeing this, Xie Ximing didn't ask any further questions, and said, "By the way, Your Highness, I heard from Xiaotian that Chi Pengyan is also a character. When you go to the Wei Mansion today, does he have any reaction?"

Hearing his question, Yu Xun sighed quite speechlessly, "I was about to talk about this too. I stayed in Wei Mansion for a whole morning today, and I didn't even see Chi Pengyan. Normally, Wei Manor With such a big incident, he shouldn't stay out of it, right?"

"Your Highness, I know about this." Jiang Shuihan cleaned up the peeled melon seeds on the table, put them on the pile of melon seeds that Jiang Tianyi placed in front of Yu Xun, and said with a smile, "But first, please forgive me, Your Highness."

"Forgiveness? What crime?"

"Communicate with people in the officialdom without asking for instructions."

"Did you go to Wei Mansion to worship?"

Jiang Shuihan nodded, and Yu Xun smiled and said, "Why should I blame you? This is the primary purpose of my visit today."

Jiang Tian curled his lips in disdain, "Brother Shui, you are too pretentious. How could His Highness blame you for this kind of thing. Don't try to be cheap and behave yourself. Tell me quickly, where did that Chi Pengyan go?"

"I heard from Wei Kaiding that Chi Pengyan went to the rivers and lakes to find the murderer."

"Ah?" Jiang Tianyi looked at him suspiciously, "The homicide happened just now, and he took the opportunity to run away? Did he want to tell everyone that he was the murderer?"

Yu Xun frowned slightly, and asked, "What else did Wei Kaiding say?"

"He said he believed that Chi Pengyan would definitely find the murderer."

Jiang Tianyi smiled mockingly, "Hey, they really trust each other."

"With Chi Pengyan's medical skills, he must have found the mando rosemary in the bedroom. He should have his own way to find out the murderer. By the way, Xiaotian, do you know what happened to that medicine? ?”

"Ah? This, we don't use much here. Mandala rosemary grows in the dense forest in the southernmost part of the Moon Kingdom. As a drug, it has strong medicinal power. But the mandala rosemary There are many preparation methods, and the auxiliary materials are also various. Different methods, the effects of the preparation are also very different. I really don't know the details..."

"Ding ding..." A small silver bell sounded in Jiang Tianyi's ears. He made a quiet gesture with his left hand, and at the same time picked up three melon seeds with his right hand and knocked out the candles in the house—someone touched the fire in the yard. A steel rope with a silver bell hanging from it.

The steel rope was arranged by Jiang Tianyi himself, and only Yu Xun, Jiang Shuihan and others knew how to avoid it. At this time, someone is visiting Hongbao Pavilion at night?

Everyone was in astonishment when they heard someone outside yelling sharply: "Jiang Nuanzhu, I know you are here! Come out and see me!"

Yu Xun was taken aback, and thought, "How did he find it?"
